      I dont get how white rice is considered bad. 4 billion people eat it as their main source of food every day. None has type 2 diabetes or is obese.

        At my last job, I worked with a guy who had T2 Diabetes from a lifetime of white rice diet. His doctor specifically mentioned the problems of cultural rice addiction from that part of the world and how this patient, like others of his, would keep eating white rice, regardless of the health risks, even after they knew how bad it was and had gotten diabetes from it. The cultural drive to eat white rice with every meal was so strong that diabetes was just accepted as part and parcel of life.

        I've known a lot of people personally with rice-based Type 2 diabetes.

          I had no idea. Nearly 30% of some countries have diabetes, incredible. I guess that puts Murica right in the middle.

            The thing about America is that we have such diabetes without the normal global triggers. Unlike countries that are poor and have nothing but rice, we have no good excuse for eating badly.

              Although, to be truthful, isn't America a world leader in rice production?

                Apparently not in total, nor by capita. I know that some places like Arkansas make quite a bit.

                  Right.

                      Our excuse is the incredible amounts of processed foods being shoved down our throats.

                        We are starting to cook homemade bread at home. Although, maybe "no bread" is the better option. But lots of very healthy cuisines eat loads of bread.

                          Yeah its hard to not eat bread... So if you're going to, home made with good ingredients is best.

                            Trying to figure out and making list what food to eat during my travel.
                            I understand a lot of food in OZ but as advise of my Doctor, just eat foods that I'm currently eating or what I've used to before the marathon.

                              I bet Australian food is way less healthy than you are used to 🙂

                                  I started my dieting in Jan 2018. Scale when I started was 210 lbs. Today, scale said 189.8. Down 20, 15 lbs to go.

                                  Recently did a road trip with a friend who eats one meal a day. I adopted that more or less since then, I've dropped 5 lbs in under two weeks. The hardest part is weekends at home when my wife is eating three meals - just means I need to find more to keep myself busy and not think about food.

                                      Drop that last meal per day I bet you will lose that last 15 lbs incredibly fast!

                                      Kidding aside, how many calories is that single meal per day? Hopefully you are getting enough essential nutrients.
